http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1882118,00.asp This article contains a very disappointing piece of news:
"Novell is making one large strategic change. The GNOME interface is going to become the default interface on both the SLES (SuSE Linux Enterprise Server) and Novell Linux Desktop line. KDE libraries will be supplied on both, but the bulk of Novell's interface moving forward will be on GNOME." Incredible. They are stupid enough to screw their own customers. This will probably have a drastic influence on their current popularity.
Yea I mean wow those mean mean guys, now you have to click on KDE before hitting enter after typing your password. And then YOU HAVE TO CLICK ON SET AS DEFAULT for GDM.... Wow, rough times..... *Sigh*.
I was going to stay out of this one, but...
Do you really think SUSE will invest as much time in honorable desktop #2 as they will in desktop #1? I bet things for KDE will lag. This has already started with beagle, which is much more integrated into gnome than kde. It is a simple matter of resources. If SUSE had equal resources for both gnome and kde, there would have been no need for any announcement. The announcement pretty much indicates one desktop will get the emphasis. Anyone who does software development knows what that means.
KDE-4.0 pre-release reviews indicate major improvements including beagle, so the show is not over yet. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
